Biden Family Involvement with Chinese Energy Companies
Hunter Biden tried to help a Chinese Communist Party-linked entity purchase a U.S. nuclear reactor maker in 2016, with the goal of exploiting his proximity to the Obama White House. His involvement was part of a larger plan to assist CEFC China Energy Co. and Westinghouse, while James Biden also attempted to assist CEFC in acquiring a U.S. liquid natural gas facility in Louisiana. House investigators launched a probe into the Biden family in November 2022, revealing financial ties and business ventures with foreign entities.
